Data from Tests of a 1/5-Scale Model of a Proposed High-Speed Submarine in the Langley Full-Scale Tunnel

Description: Tests of a 1/5 scale model of a proposed 153-foot high-speed submarine have been conducted in the Langley full-scale tunnel at the request of the Bureau of Ships, Department of the Navy. The test program included: (1) force tests to determine the drag, control effectiveness, and static stability characteristics for a number of model configurations, both in pitch and in yaw, (2) pressure measurements to determine the boundary-layer conditions and flow characteristics in the region of the propell… more

Preliminary Investigation of a Technique for Stability Studies of a Self-Propelled Model of a Submerged Submarine

Description: Report presenting the initial development of a technique for the qualitative study of the stability and control characteristics of a free, self-propelled, dynamic submarine model. Two types of control systems were evaluated. Results regarding the qualitative analysis of the control system, dive paths, equations of motion, and comparison with experimental paths are provided.
